Sins Book, Is it legal?

I am thinking of starting a book based on sins of a solar empire and plan on selling it, not on a major scale just enough to make a little money off it, but i was wondering if that is even legal to do.

99% sure it is not. You can't make money on anyone else's IP without permission.

I'm also surprised you're confident you can actually make money on a Sins book.  ;)

Just pm someone in the company and ask.  If they give you permission, problem solved.

I actually have a story board for a Sins-inspired book (not an actual "Sins book") and I have pondered using the "Vasari" in it just as a nod.

Actually, writing a fiction book for money is probably the wrong approach.  You write it to write.  If you get lucky some money can fall out.

that is true, i completely agree.I have wrote a couple of short stories before. The money thing isn't the main reason for writing the book. But like you said if i get a little money, hey ill take it! ;)

I would guess that as long DONT make money = selling it the owner of the IP probably will have no issues.

 

Still.... you should ask .....
